# Google Play Console vs GDevelop

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Google Play Console at none against GDevelop's 21. Google Play Console also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). GDevelop's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 154). On price, review sentiment, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GDevelop sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Google Play Console asks for nothing beyond the download.

Google Play Console holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GDevelop has 2.4K ratings behind it against 154, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Google Play Console's written reviews are positive against 50% of GDevelop's.

Google Play Console ships an update every 6 weeks, GDevelop every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
